Go bananas and start Using them in casual situations to sound more fluent in English. I’ll teach these expressions using a story and give you examples and explanations for each one.

Hello Benjamin .
Got 100 .
Am I the first to leave a comment ?
This is what you gain if you are not a couch potato , follow the engvid videos , and dangle a good mark as a carrot . To celebrate this I am going banana tonight . Maybe i will meet a peach and provided that I won’t bump into a bad apple .
Cheers

Thanks for the lesson, Benjamin. Youre a great teacher.
I got one question. A bad apple is just a person that you don’t want around you, maybe an annoying and/or disgusting person, or is it an evil person?

Hi camila. It’s a bad person in general.

“Don’t hang out with Jason. He’s a bad apple and will have a bad influence on you.” Imagine a parent talking to a child in these sentences. :)

If they are native English speakers, does it mean they are unerring? No. Human brain works on that way. This mistake you spotted is not one and only made by teachers here, I’ve spotted many others myself, and I’m quite aware of the fact they overlooked them accidentally. Like I said, it’s natural.

I don’t need to cherry pick lessons in EngVid, all of them seems very useful and didactic. However, I need to practice more the listening of the British accent or I’ll be in a pickle to understand all the speech of your f***cking lessons :-)

I THANK U VERY MUCH AS THANKS TO U I CAN MAKE MY ENGLISH LOOK LIKE MORE NATIVE. ALSO I HAVE TO SAY THAT U SPEAK IN A SUCH WAY THAT I REALLY ADMIRE FOR U. I HOPE U WILL CONTINUE MAKING USEFUL VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE.
